PAS Educational Workshop
Willow, SF Marriott
Leader: Ivor Horn, Washington, DC; Co-leaders: Robert Freishtat, Jill Joseph, Naomi Luban

Target Audience: Trainees, fellows, junior faculty, mid-level faculty, and senior faculty.

This interactive workshop will use a case-based format to discuss mentoring as a tool for achieving scientific and professional independence from the mentee and mentor perspectives. Participants will be divided into trainees/junior faculty and mid-level/senior faculty to discuss the following three topics:

1. Establishing achievable goals for mentoring relationships, choosing mentors and accepting mentees.
2. Working effectively with mentors/mentees in light of the 'natural progression' of mentoring in a trainee/junior faculty member's career.
3. Identifying and responding appropriately to challenges and difficulties in the mentoring relationship.

This workshop will be lead by K award-funded junior investigators and senior investigators with extensive mentoring experience.

Objectives:

– To provide participants with strategies they can use to develop and sustain successful mentoring relationships
– To provide participants with tools to achieve productive mentoring relationships that lead to scientific and professional independence for the mentee

Format: Small group discussion using a case based format.

Designed to meet elements of the core curriculum for pediatric fellowship subspecialty training.

4100—Making Pediatrics Family Friendly
PAS/APPD Topic Symposium
Room 2003-2007, Moscone West
Chairs: Carol D. Berkowitz, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Torrance, CA; and Richard E. Behrman, Federation of Pediatric Organizations, Inc., Menlo Park, CA

Target Audience: Pediatric clerkship directors, residency program directors, fellowship directors and division chiefs and department chairs, as well as those in training or faculty interested in a family-friendly environment.

The Federation of Pediatric Organizations (FOPO) released its Report of the Task Force on Women in Pediatrics in April 2005. The report recommends structural and functional changes in academic pediatrics so that family balance is possible during all stages of training. Specific steps to achieve this goal were outlined from medical student training up through senior pediatric faculty. It has been proposed that information should be collected from medical schools and training programs so that they can be rated as “family-friendly” in a manner analogous to Fortune 500 companies. Issues related to a family-friendly environment include flexible training and work schedules; provision of sufficient leave for maternity/paternity and eldercare; resources for childcare, after-school and lactation facilities; and extension of timelines for tenure and extramural funding.
